EB2061-CG Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The EB2061-CG is an active DPDT pushbutton switch manufactured by NKK Switches, rated for 3A at 125V AC. This panel-mount rear component features a blue round button actuator with solder lug termination and epoxy sealed terminals. The switch is designed for On-Momentary operation with a mechanical life of 100,000 cycles and electrical life of 25,000 cycles.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, circuit configuration, mounting type, and termination style are maintained across the product lifecycle or when original inventory becomes unavailable.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MPS-203R from TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following matching parameters:

• Circuit configuration: DPDT
• Current rating: 3A (AC)
• Voltage rating: 125V AC
• Switch function: On-Momentary
• Mounting type: Panel Mount, Rear
• Termination style: Solder Lug
• Electrical life: 25,000 Cycles
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• HTSUS classification: 8536.50.9031

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance specifications and are suitable for equivalent circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both EB2061-CG and MPS-203R are active products with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability and lead time requirements
• Operating temperature range requirements (MPS-203R supports -20°C ~ 80°C versus EB2061-CG at -10°C ~ 70°C)
• Mechanical life requirements (EB2061-CG specifies 100,000 cycles; MPS-203R does not specify this parameter)
• Actuator design preference (EB2061-CG features round button; MPS-203R features plunger for cap)
• Supply chain and inventory status

Both parts maintain equivalent electrical performance and are suitable for direct substitution in DPDT 3A 125V AC switching applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MPS-203R replace EB2061-CG in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (DPDT, 3A, 125V AC), switch function (On-Momentary), mounting configuration (Panel Mount, Rear), and termination style (Solder Lug). Electrical compatibility is maintained.

Q: What are the differences between these parts?

A: Operating temperature range differs (MPS-203R: -20°C ~ 80°C; EB2061-CG: -10°C ~ 70°C). Mechanical life is specified for EB2061-CG (100,000 cycles) but not provided for MPS-203R. Actuator design differs (round button versus plunger for cap).

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both EB2061-CG and MPS-203R are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What is the panel cutout requirement?

A: EB2061-CG specifies circular 6.35mm diameter cutout. MPS-203R panel cutout dimensions are not provided in available specifications.

Q: Do these parts have identical electrical life ratings?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 25,000 electrical cycles.
